Rokkett Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Great description of F-14 launch and Case I recovery procedure by former F-14 RIO, Ward Carroll, on his Youtube channel: (175) Secrets of the F-14 Tomcat: Carrier Ops - YouTube 1
Donut Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the link! Great stuff, I didn't know he had a Youtube channel! I just finished reading his novel Punk's War and started his second, Punk's Wing. I highly recommend them.

Rokkett Posted April 18, 2021 Author Posted April 18, 2021 You're welcome! His article in WATM about the original "Top Gun" movie is also highly entertaining - kind of in the vein of "Mover Ruins Movies", but in written format: 79 cringeworthy errors in 'Top Gun' - We Are The Mighty

LanceCriminal86 Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 I've been meaning to ask him if he ever sketched up some art for his fictional VF-104 squadron, I know some folks have taken swings at replicating them but it would be neat to get an "official" design direction and go from there. Maybe he'd even gin up a roster of characters for the different jets too in addition to the main characters. 2 Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™ VF-11 and VF-31 1988 [WIP] VF-201 & VF-202 [WIP]
